Well been at this card for days.. Started with the "Frantic Stamper" Tumbling blocks card panel..here
they show the panel length ways and you can see the Blocks..I did it sideways that is were you can see the flower design..I cut two white and two blue.. there is a pattern match to make the panel larger than
3.7/5" x 5" ...Adhered two panels to white card ..overlaid with blue, then in-filled with blue to form a pattern....

Good evening crafty friends, followers and visitors, welcome to new follower Victoria..thank you for joining me..

This card is ideal for posting, I have only added foam tape the Merry Christmas banner and baubles, it is only 1 or 2cm deep, could have got away with none.. the card has been cut using spellbinders Grand Rectangles..

This new memory box "Peaceful Merry Christmas" does`nt need much else on a card really.. but me being me..had to add "Neena" ornament baubles with bling and "Curled Ribbon" swags..

Good evening crafty friends, followers and visitors.. warm welcome to new follower Kath, thank you for joining my blog..

Late posting from me, just came home from my Granddaughters house warming..
Made two cards with this "Frantic Stamper.. There`s no place like home" die...would make nice Christmas cards do you think..

First card, is for DT oysters stamps..
started with a 6"x 6" white card blank..using "Our Daily Bread" Ornate heart die I cut this out then embossed in a folder..inked the heart piece with DI`s..made a frame with the largest fancy heart, inked then adhered to the cut out, placed foam taped the on back adhered to a touch larger white card, that had been inked around the edge..inked heart was put back in the cut out..
frantic stamper die cut with white card inked with a selection of DI`s.. heat embossed with clear powder..
Heartfelt creation "Delicate aster flowers" and memory box "Riviera corner".."Norwich corner"..Rhone & Effera wings butterflies...

This second card is my Granddaughters, lot quicker to make..

the embossing folder Tattered lace..I inked the rose`s with DI spun sugar.. thought this one did not need any flowers. just ribbon..

I thought I would make a side stepper card to fit the memory box "Merry Christmas To All" die.. only done middle steppers ..so new to me..

I have used my "We-R-Memory" trim and score board.. or craft knife and scoring board of your choice..
decided I needed a 4"1/2 side panel, this fitted in nice with spellbinders grand labels 1..I wanted to use for mats..

finished card..

A4 card. sort edge start a cut 1" from the bottom edge.. cut a line to 7"7/8..

Can I thank you all for taking the time to comment on my cards, really appreciate you doing so.. sorry if you have no blog for me to return your call.

Thought this card panel "Mother and Child" by Frantic stamper needed a CAS card..
SO NO flowers and just a small ribbon bow..

I have fussy cut and layered the main image to add definition..

Would make lovely.. Mothers day.. New baby... cards..
main panel is mattered onto..spellbinder..5x7 Detailed scallop, this was in my die cut box already cut to size..
altered the length a while ago and did not use it..(very handy)...lol.

anyone one else having blogger problems..very slow when on blog comments & keeps coming up with weird things!!!

This card uses new memory box and frantic stamper dies..
Been at it all day, one of those cards..knew what I wanted and would not come together..so very nearly went in the bin... LOL.

M/B Sparkling snowflake corner.. created a frame with spellbinders 5x7 Detailed scallop and matting basic`s A..
Edges smothered in Pinflair "snow dust" and "iced diamond"..guess who found out the later is very sharp!!!!
Frantic stamper "Reindeer duo" used the one, you get two in the set..
BOW..Zutter "Bow-it-all"
